Topshop Faux Fur Vest

Size: 8

Current Bid: GBP4.99 (~$8.02), 1 Bid
S&H: GBP7.99

 I like the long shagginess of the fauxfur here, and it's a good color I think.  Iono, I just want a freaking fur-ish vest already, and the price is right, altho it kinda bothers me that the shipping is more than the *current* bid.  This would look good both cas (w/jeans) and a lil more glammed up (w/leggings, or a short skirt, or my nonexistent leather pants). 

T, 11/16/10:  Agreed with everything you said -- good color, no weird dangling legs/feet on the bottom.  Only, no faux!  Get the real deal, esp if S&H is going to cost that much!

A -- 11/18/10: Sold for GBP20.00 (~$31.84).  Yah too much.

I emailed asking why the two pics look so diff, but no response.  Been seeing this coat a lot, prices all over the place, include $200+.  Obv this is gonna go for higher, but I'm all confused now about what my max should be!

Exhibit B: NWOT

Shoulder to hem: 31"

Kind of a diff pattern, darker, not sure which I prefer.

Looks like the same as Exhibit A.  And yet diff in price.  See?!  These things are impossible to predict!

T, 10/27/10:

Exh. A:  like the way it looks on the model, wish spots had a diff color orange in the middle instead of being just black dots.  Also, dunno how you feel about sleeve length -- are 3/4ths sleeves are okay for your leopard?

Exh. B: love!!!  Big buttons are a little gaudy, but everything else, nice!  This could go for over $150+, so if you REALLY want, I'd max at $175, to be safe?

Exh. C: yeah, I can't tell the diff b/w this and Exh. A.  Maybe you'll get lucky and get Exh. A for cheap?

A -- 10/28/10:

Exh. A: sold for $91.60 + $20.00 shipping = $111.60; 8 bids.

Exh. B: ended w/zero bids.  Will watch to see if it gets re-listed.

Exh. C: sold for $137.29 + GBP23.00 shipping = ~$170; 18 bids.

So basically, people like the one that I see constantly, the "plainer" one.  And I am no closer to a leopard coat.  Ugh.

Current Bid: 17 bids; GBP37.99 (~$60.23)

What is there to say...it's a white shaggy fauxfur coat.  I want one.  No measurements in the listing, I could ask but I think UK10 is like US6, so eh.  The only question is, yet again, will I have the guts to wear it (and can it be worn w/flats?  Flat boots huh, they are really the answer to everything.  Dammit I need flat boots!!!  They should really be my priority right now).  Max out at ~GBP50 I think.

T, 10/21/10:  Looks like a dog.  And it looks dirty.  So it looks like a dirty, smelly dog (like nysubletter).  I love dogs, I do not want to wear one.  Guessing this'll go for over your max, though!

A -- 10/23/10: Yup, sold for GBP57.10 ($90.03).  Dammit, I want a big fluffy shaggy coat! It. Is. A. Look....Dammit.  I must say this again - ALL furs, real or faux, are SUPPOSED to look like they were once an animal.  And even if it is smelly, maybe I can fix it w/vinegar =)

Kate Moss for Topshop Blk/Gray Faux Fur Coat

Size: UK12

Material: Faux fur

Starting Bid: 0 bids; EUR39.99 (~$55.86)

Buy It Now: EUR70.00

S&H: Eur20.00

Ended: October 23, 2010; 1:30PM PST (4:30PM EST)

So when I uploaded this onto Picasa, I realized it basically looked exactly like the white one I just posted, only a diff color.  But I don't care!!  Also, I want her boots.  And bag.  Dammit.  I don't understand why the shipping is so high.  That's like almost $30 just for shipping...so I would prolly not go for more than the starting bid. 

T, 10/21/10:  Oh, kind of looks like the mustache coat you posted earlier.  Yeah, might be the same as the white coat, but it looks better as gray -- less Ikea carpet, more actual coat.

Kate Moss for Topshop Faux Fur Jacket

Current Bid: GBP29.99, 1 bid (approx. $48)

S&H: GBP5.50

Is it overthetop?  Is it too trendy?  Does it look cropped?  Will I look like a trannyhooker wearing it?

T, 10/18/10:  you know, when I first saw it, I actually liked it; it is trendy, but not completely OTT -- the muted colors draw it back.  But when you said trannyhooker, I def saw that too.  Does look cropped, like a dotted mustache.  T4S trumps this!

A -- 10/21/10: Sold for $84.03, oh well.  I may have been more interested if it weren't cropped, but that much for a coat that wasn't even normal/full length, and faux, nope.

I really like this sweater, I've seen it listed on ebay several times, always in the hundreds.  Love the color, the length, the slouchiness, it is totally TEC minus the C lol.  Obv it's a slouchy sweater, so posting it here is probably an exercise in futility...So many bids already, I can't see this staying low.  Max?

T, 10/18/10:  Ugh, why would anyone pay over $100 for this?!  It's topshop; it's hobogear.  Admittedly, looks better worn than lying on the ground, but I don't see the special.  Hm, as for max, since it seems like you love, maybe $60 sans shipping . . . but what a waste!  I mean, what's it made out of -- polyester/rayon?  T4S all the way!

A -- 10/21/10: Sold for $88.  I think this one is so popular bc it's a Rodarte ripoff, or Rodarte for Topshop design, I somehow can't figure out which it is.  Either way, that, plus all the celeblove wearing it, probably explains the high bids.  This was actually "low", I've seen it listed for buyitnow at like $250.

Kate Moss for Topshop Faux Fur Coat

Size: 6
Material: Acrylic & Polyester
Length: 26"

Current bid: 1 bid, GBP40
S&H: Shit I'm not sure, it's in England and says contact seller for int'l shipping
Ends: 12:00PM; October 16, 2010

So, crap, I'm gonna be at beerfest when this ends...drunken running around while frantically looking for wifi is gonna be interesting. I really like her fauxfurs for topshop, but given that int'l shipping is prolly gonna be like $20, I'd say my max is probably around GBP50, which I'm pretty sure this will go over. Also, if I somehow manage to win this, does that mean I should not get any of the other blk ones that end after? Bc I want all of them dammit! Also, should I not curse so much for fear of it reflecting poorly on me when potential future bosses google me?

T:  Assuming you win for 50GBP, which is around $80, shipping will probably be $30 . . . that's already $110.  The pretty, rabbit fur Theory for Scoop's Buy It Now is $199.  If the Theory auction goes for lower than the Buy It Now, it's a minimal difference to pay for something a lot higher quality, and more classic.  This coat is pretty, but it reminds me of a Sesame Street muppet.  LOL, there's no way for ppl to fig us out, right?

Update: Emailed seller, shipping is almost GBP20, so I guess this one's a nogo.  I'm sad, it would look so badass, altho really, the likelihood of my having the guts to rock it outside of my apt is probably low.  Btw, I love how scientific/mathematic we are about these things.  It's almost as if these are logical, rational decisions for necessary things.

T: LOL, yay I guessed shipping right!  Transitively, that means I'm right about Theory being better!  Haha.

A -- 10/17/10: So this ended w/a highbid of GBP41, w/the reserve still not met.  Why do ppl do that, what a waste of everyone's time.  Maybe they will relist w/an actual price now.

Topshop ships to the U.S.!

Fashionistas rejoice! Topshop U.K. is now shipping online orders to the USA (as well as Australia). You can probably guess how excited I am about this but I’m sure many of you are doing the ‘Happy Dance’ as you read this! Visit www.topshop.com to start window shopping.

Topshop...

Topshop U.K. recently re-launched their new site and it’s fantastic!! I picked just of my favorite pieces above, but everthing looks great – man I miss U.K. shopping.
